Dear Ministry Partners and Friends,
God truly blessed our ministry in 2024! Throughout the year, we were able to share the
gospel with and provide guidance to 100s of people in 5 different cities. We ended the year
by providing meals and gifts to 7 local families to ensure that they felt loved during the
Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Check out The Gallery on our website to see some
great pictures. None of this could have been accomplished without the “elves” who helped shop and deliver and the financial support of people like you. Thank you!
As we gear up for a great 2025, we want to reflect on how the ministry has grown so rapidly.
The table below shows this growth. All Glory to God!
| June-Dec 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | Totals | |
| New Brothers and Sisters in Christ | 90 | 106 | 131 | 153 | 229 | 709 |
| Baptisms | 2 | 7 | 10 | 15 | 16 | 50 |
| Moved into Permanent Housing | 8 | 17 | 23 | 19 | 14 | 81 |
| Entered Recovery Programs | 6 | 8 | 17 | 14 | 21 | 66 |
To kick-start our plans for 2025, a truly caring Ministry Partner has stepped up to provide me with
some much-needed organizational counseling. This will allow us to track the people who have
accepted Christ, enrolled in recovery programs, and moved into housing and identify ways to
continue discipling them so that they are not “lost in the cracks” of the system.
In 2024, I was in cities other than Tyler for 96 days. In 2025, the plan is to be in those cities (Dallas,
Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans, and Chicago) for 113 days, doing my best to reach the lost, the
forgotten, the homeless, and the addicted. This month, I will be in Dallas and Austin. Traveling is
the single largest item in the ministry’s budget. In accordance with Isaiah 6:8, I AM willing to go but
will need the support of people like you so the Kingdom message can be shared with as many as
possible in as many places as possible. Please consider donating to the Ministry’s General Fund or
its Mission Trips Fund. I need your help!
I realize that none that has been accomplished would have been possible without God’s provision
through you. Thanks to ALL of you who have prayed for this ministry and who have supported us
financially.
Your brother in Christ,
Eric
